What is recorded here

Embanked enclosure is a fairy fort or ringfort in Curraghroche, County Waterford, Ireland. The 1840 edition of the Ordnance Survey six-inch map marked a circular embanked enclosure with an external diameter of roughly 35 to 40 metres. That map also placed the site in pasture on the west bank of a south-north stream near the Finisk River. The published inventory recorded that the enclosure was not visible at ground level during its examination.

Marked as a circular embanked enclosure (ext. diam. c. 35-40m) on the 1840 ed. of the OS 6-inch map. It is situated in pasture on the W bank of a S-N stream at a point where the stream turns NNE and c. 200m from where it enters the SE-NW Finisk River. It is not visible at ground level. The above description is derived from the published 'Archaeological Inventory of County Waterford' (Dublin: Stationery Office, 1999). In certain instances the entries have been revised and updated in the light of recent research. Compiled by: Michael Moore Date of upload/revision: 19 January, 2012
